In that case, a student may be requested by the admissions office to complete a Sheridan Mature Student English Test (reading comprehension, sentence skills and writing skills) and/or Canadian Adult Achievement Test (CAAT) for math and science. The Canadian Adult Achievement Test is a battery of tests designed to measure the level of educational achievement among adults.

The Reading Comprehension test, comprised of 20 questions, measures your ability to understand what you read, to identify main ideas and to make inferences. You need to distinguish between direct statements and secondary or supporting ideas.
